The Caudron C.240 was a four-seat touring aircraft produced in France in 1931. It was a single-engined, low-wing, cantilever monoplane constructed using wood and metal. It had fixed, conventional landing gear. ^[1]

It was presented for official tests at the STAé but it did not respond well to control input and did not receive its Certificate of Airworthiness. ^[1] Caudron were unable to find customers so further development was abandoned.
